King of Campus Chapter 40: Ivy
Daniel cuts into my thoughts when he says, "Roan tells us that you're a dancer."I nod. "Yes, I've been dancing since I was three. I'm double majoring in dance and finance."He looks impressed. "Wow, that's quite a combination.""Well," I shrug, "I want to have something to fall back on in case it doesn't pan out. Being a professional dancer is highly competitive. And I've always been interested in business, so it seemed like a good fit.""That's a smart way to approach it. Shoot for your dreams but have a backup plan in place in case it doesn't work out the way you hope it will. And you studied abroad last year?"Feeling like a bobble head, I nod. "I studied at the Conservatoire de Paris for fifteen months.""We were in Paris two years ago on vacation. The architecture is stunning.""Yes." I smile in earnest, feeling a bit more at ease with the flow and direction of our conversation. "It's absolutely beautiful. There's so much to see and do. Cathedrals and gardens.

Well...I tried hooking up with him tonight. Unfortunately, it didn't go so well. But I'm certainly not going to share that little tidbit of information with her. How humiliating...The guy known for his one-night stands won't even fool around with me. It would be comical if I weren't so damn turned on at the moment."No hookup action has taken place. And I have no idea if we are a thing. So, chill on the labels, okay?"Since she's sitting here alone, I'm guessing that Dylan and Lexie haven't worked things out between them. "Have you spoken with Dylan?"Her smile dims before she jerks her head into a nod. "He texted and I told him that I needed more time and space.""Do you feel any better about what happened?"With a sigh, she shrugs. "A little bit, but I'm not ready to jump back into what we had. I didn't realize how serious we had become over the last eight months. I need time to figure out what I want.""Was he understanding about it?" Not all guys would be. Some
King of Campus Chapter 42: Ivy
There's a huge game coming up this weekend and everyone is expecting Roan King to lead the team to another amazing victory! Tons of people are caravanning to UMass for the game. If you're a true RK fan, you're not going to want to miss this one! KingOfCampus.comI shake off the last remnants of sleep and roll toward Roan who is snoring soundly beside me. Sometime during the night, the sheet slid down so that it only covers the top of his low-slung shorts. The edges of the thin tan cotton are crumpled around his lean hips. Much to my delight, there's nothing but hot naked chest as far as the eye can see. To say that he's gorgeous is an understatement.Every time I stare at him, my heart stutters in response.It's doubtful that I could pull my gaze away even if I wanted to. Since he's still sleeping, I don't have to. I glance at the tips of his inky black hair that has a hint of curl to it to those ridiculously long lashes that are feathered across his cheeks.Seriously...wh

Uh-oh, Roan's new girlfriend better watch her back...some of these bitches have razor sharp claws. Especially when you're messing with their man... KingOfCampus.com"So...not gonna say one damn word about it, huh?" Lexie elbows me in the side as we make our way across campus. We've both finished up with classes for the day and we're going to grab lunch. After that, I need to head over to the studio to work with Eric, one of my dance teachers."There's nothing to say." Unless I mention how hard I'm starting to fall for Roan. Even thinking those words sends a little spasm of pleasure ricocheting through my belly."Oh honey, are you seriously telling me that he spent the entire night in your bed, and nothing happened?" Skepticism laces her voice. Since we're talking about Roan King here, I can't blame her for it. I would be dubious, too.I rub my side where she poked me. That girl can really pack a punch when she wants to. I think she's way too used to elbowing Dylan. "No

Roan King wandering around the fine arts building??? What's up with that? Hmmm...I can only imagine what he's doing there. I have the sneaking suspicion that a certain dancer has something to do with this... KingOfCampus.comEven though this is my fourth year attending Barnett, it's the first time I've stepped foot inside the fine arts building. Ivy said she needed to stay late and work with one of her professors on a solo she's preparing for a show at the end of the semester. Since I finished up practice early, I thought I'd meet her so we could head back to the apartment together. I hate the idea of her walking home alone.I head toward room 105...or maybe it's a studio. I have no clue. Throughout the corridor, there are framed photos of dancers. All the women are long and lean with builds similar to Ivy's. The men are muscular but not in a bulky, football-player-type of way. For a moment, I stop and study one of the posters.Is this the kind of guy Ivy usually goes fo
King of Campus Chapter 45: Roan
Roan King just played the best freaking game of his life yesterday. He caught three passes before plowing his way into the end zone. The last of which won a tied-up game for the Barnett Bulldogs in the final seconds of the fourth quarter. RK is on fire this season and it's almost a sure bet he'll be turning pro when the draft rolls around. All hail the king of campus! KingOfCampus.comI'm not going to lie, I'm nervous as hell. My palms are actually a little sweaty. It's totally ridiculous. Up until this point, I've pretty much screwed my way through high school and the first couple years of college. This will be the first time I've ever made love to a woman.Shit. That makes me sound like a pussy, doesn't it?Even in my own damn head, I sound like a little bitch. But it's the truth. Ivy will be the first girl I don't fuck just so I can blow my load without a second thought.What happens today matters.A whole hell of a lot. So...no pressure there at all.Hence the s
King of Campus Chapter 46: Roan
She holds my gaze for a long moment before nodding. "Yeah, I'd have to. Dance is so competitive. And if I have a chance to get in somewhere, I need to take it. It's what I've spent my entire life working toward."I nod, it's the same way I feel about football. Making it to the NFL has always been the dream. This is the first time my attention is divided between football and something else.I had assumed that, if things worked out between us, we'd have the rest of this year to be together before I get drafted. I hate the idea that she could leave at any given moment. I'm not trying to get ahead of myself here, because this is really new, but Ivy is the first girl I've wanted to explore a relationship with. I don't want to lose her. "And your dad is cool with you dropping out of school?"Ivy inhales a breath before pushing it out again. "He would prefer I finish my degree. But if I get an audition and make it, then he'll understand." She gathers up the wrappers and napkin
King of Campus Chapter 47: Roan
I get her name out before the canoe flips and we get dumped into the spring-fed lake. Even though it's late September, the water is still warm. Otherwise, this would suck a whole lot more.As I surface, Ivy sputters next to me as she treads water. There's a thin veneer of shock coating her expression as if she can't believe what happened."The canoe," she gasps. It's turned over and bobbing upside down in the water next to us.A more pertinent question would be- "Are you okay? Do you know how to swim?"A gurgle of laughter escapes from her lips. "You probably should have asked that before we went out in the boat!"I grin. She doesn't seem angry over our current predicament. Some girls would be seriously pissed off at finding themselves floating in the middle of a lake. "You're right, I should have." Since she's treading water next to me like a champ, I'm pretty sure she knows how to at least doggie paddle. "I need to get this canoe turned over so we can get back to shor
